- Proven success leading large-scale cross-functional programs with executive visibility
- Analytical and structured problem solver who can convert insight into action
- Highly skilled communicator able to influence at the executive level
- Track record of building operational systems and governance models at scale
- Comfortable balancing enterprise strategic thinking with hands-on execution
